<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <RadioGroup
        android:id="@+id/rg_views"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/rb_normal"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:checked="true"
            android:text="StreetView" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/rb_satellite"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

            android:text="Terrian" />
    </RadioGroup>

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/rg_views" >

        <fragment
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/map"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />

        <SeekBar
            android:id="@+id/bar"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_marginRight="-30dp"
            android:max="400"
            android:minWidth="100dp"
            android:progress="100"
            android:rotation="270" />
    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

if anyone knows how to place button, seek bar on map’s surface then please help me

Answer 1

The SeekBar is made for being horizontal. Rotating it will make problems for it to show properly without code modification. You can try examples of vertical SeekBar implementations, but non of them worked for me well.

How can I get a working vertical SeekBar in Android?
